You can't find a way that works

And stick to that your whole life through.

The way that works will wander off 

And leave you far behind.

You will become disingenuous,

Your hairstyle dated.

The face you plaster on yourself

Will be an obvious fake.

The way that works will keep you guessing,

And thereby, will promote a youthful appearance,

One marked by innocent curiosity 

And love of discovery.

If you can flow with the way that works

Along the bends and turns of life,

Through places that are beautiful,

And through the places that you feel you shouldn't have to go,

Maybe one day the light will dawn

On the intense string of heartbeats, 

That living your exact journey has quite been,

Your precise attempt at living the way that works for you.
